If you want to try bottom fishing, that is also an option - all the gear is provided, whatever type of fishing you want to do.

These trips usually run from late April to June. Head out to fish for Blackfin Tuna at the best time of day to catch them - just as the sun is setting. You will be trolling with live bait, which you will catch as you head offshore to the fishing grounds. Enjoy sashimi on the boat on this one of a kind fishing experience.

I had originally booked this trip as dusk Tuna trip but Captain Nel did a great job of working with me to change it up as there were no Tuna biting at the time. We instead made it a full day trip starting at 1pm.

Captain Nel was actually on vacation but had Captain Albert and Kyle take us out. The boat was in great shape and actually had great air conditioning…so it was super comfortable. The gear on the boat was top notch as well.

We were excited to fish with Captain Albert and Kyle as they had just won tournament and obviously know what they are doing. As a result, they got us on fish and kept us there, and we definitely appreciated it. They worked so well as a two man team that they actually picked out individual fish they wanted to catch. Our only issue is that they were kind of fishing without us. Cast every line. Hooked every fish. Gave us a pole to hold then grabbed the fish when we lifted it in. We asked several times to get our sons more involved and build out the experience but never really got to that point. It turned into a full day fishing observation trip. That might be what some folks like…If so, these guys are really good. Just wasn’t exactly what we were looking for.

Had a great day fishing with the Top Gun crew. Mahi’s, Cuda, Bonita, Bar-Jack’s, etc., caught a little bit of everything and had a whole lot of fun. Crew was great in helping my 10 year old land his first fish from the ocean. Highly recommend Captain Nel and crew. Will definitely look these guys up again on a return trip to Miami.

Great day of fishing on Top Gun with Captain Nel. Had food and drink ready for us upon arrival, Captain and First Mate were top notch on the fishing and we came home with a nice catch of Mahi Mahi. Finished the day with filleting our catch and directing us to a restaurant just down the street that cooked up about the freshest fish dinner possible. Our clients enjoyed the day and all agreed the fishing was better than golf the following day at Doral (for about a third the cost for six of us). We’ll be back next year for another trip!
